Rubber Ducky Time

Yeah, so there's a giant rubber ducky in Pittsburgh.

 

Pittsburgh resident Jim Baur was on hand for the festivities, enjoying his city’s newly found cultural cache. “You couldn’t help but stare at the duck,” he says, “if nothing else but to try to continually reassure your brain that yes, in fact, there is a 40′ rubber ducky floating in the river.”
“As stupid as it felt to be there in the name of a rubber duck, it was also a lot of fun.”

'Tis Junior Year

Lessons I have learned thus far in junior year:

• There's something less fun than arriving late to a final. It's having 65 pages you've written of a novel thus far die in a flash drive accident.
• Any food you can cook in a microwave is automatically awesome.
• "Academic Integrity" in a literary criticism class is approximately as chimeric as "Military Intelligence."
• Chocolate.
• Education professors are always the best.
• Smallpox seriously sucked. And it isn't yet extinct.

Moving on with life.
